Champions >>>> Masters

Many will call me crazy, but after many calculations and studies I came to this result:

Winning kick off = 0 points (This is the beginning, some teams use this just to test things).

Winning the first masters of the year = 2 points (It's still a short time, usually the teams that have been together for a while have a certain advantage).

Winning Stage 1 = 1 points (There is already some competition).

Winning the second master of the year = 5 points (Here we discover the real level of the teams).

Winning stage 2 = 3 points (Very underrated imo. Everyone tries their best to reach Champions).

Winning champions = 8 points. (The best team wins. There is no room for excuses).

u are usually retarded but this is spot on

Yeah and also depends on things such as visa issues, single elimination qualifiers and etc
So masters Reykjavik is 0 points because fpx couldnt attend the event
And masters madrid is also 0 point because its a shit Mickey mouse event with 8 teams and single elim qualifier

Maybe it’s just me, but calling it STAGE 1 & STAGE 2 kinda makes the event feel less important? Like, when they announce "THIS TEAM IS YOUR STAGE 1 CHAMPIONS" it sounds off. I’d prefer if they used something like midseason/summer or whatever instead.

Yes there is a reason why we have 1 champs and multiple masters in a year ... u only get 1 chance for that golden trophy

2021 and 2024 champs are 0 points tbh

farmers era and neon era

second place: am i a joke to you?
literally everyone: yes, you are

Its smth that should be obvius, but the fact we have to argue this bc of some fanbases is insane.
It makes me fells like that:

I mostly agree tbh
but it doesn't sit right with me that winning split 2 > winning masters 1

i fuck with it. Stage 2 winners are regional winners. Riot should work that more than they do

why not make the format like the 2025 LoL esports format? Especially the LCK format, that will be entertaining af
